Smythe-Davis was crowned Commonwealth and British champion in 2014, and more medals followed in the next two years, with silvers at the Baku Grand Slam.

As a junior, Smythe-Davis won four European Cup and five National Championships gold medals, while in 2017 she became the first Brit for seven years to win a World Championships medal – taking bronze in Budapest.
